- Trichlorosilane (SiHCl3) used as a material for producing extremely high purity silicon having a purity greater than 99.999999999% is produced by reacting metal silicon powder (Si) of about 98% in purity with hydrogen chloride gas (HCl).
- As a reaction apparatus for producing trichlorosilane in which metal silicon powder is reacted with hydrogen chloride gas to generate trichlorosilane as described above, there has been proposed, for example, an apparatus disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. 2002-220219, which is provided with an apparatus main body at which metal silicon powder is supplied and gas introduction device for introducing hydrogen chloride gas into the apparatus main body from the bottom portion of the apparatus main body. In this case, the gas introduction device is provided with hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzles having an ejection hole for ejecting hydrogen chloride gas into metal silicon powder.
- Metal silicon powder, the grain size of which is relatively small, that is, 1000 μm or smaller, is supplied into an apparatus main body, and hydrogen chloride gas is ejected at a high speed through a hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle from the bottom portion of the apparatus main body, by which metal silicon powder is fluidized. Thereby, the metal silicon powder is sufficiently contacted with the hydrogen chloride gas to carry out a reaction, thereby obtaining trichlorosilane.
- Incidentally, conventional hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzles are fixed to a bottom portion of an apparatus main body so that the ejection holes thereof open upward. In this case, since metal silicon powder is small in grain size, as described previously, the powder may enter into ejection holes to result in clogging. Therefore, it is necessary to exchange or clean the hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle. However, since the hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle is fixed to the bottom portion of the apparatus main body, the hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle cannot be easily removed.
- The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, an object of which is to provide a hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle capable of suppressing the clogging resulting from metal silicon powder and also improving the production efficiency of trichlorosilane by widely dispersing hydrogen chloride gas, a reaction apparatus for producing trichlorosilane equipped with the hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle and a method for producing trichlorosilane by using the hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle.
- The hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle of the present invention is a hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle used in a reaction apparatus for producing trichlorosilane in which metal silicon powder is reacted with hydrogen chloride gas to generate trichlorosilane and provided with a shaft portion extending in a longitudinal direction and a head portion extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion. A supply hole extending in the longitudinal direction is disposed at the shaft portion. A plurality of ejection holes are formed at the head portion. Each of the ejection holes is communicatively connected to the supply hole and opened on the outer surface of the head portion by extending in a direction intersecting the direction to which the supply hole extends.
- The hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle of the present invention is provided with a shaft portion extending in a longitudinal direction and a head portion extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion. A supply hole disposed at the shaft portion extends in the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion, and ejection holes extending in a direction intersecting the supply hole are disposed at the head portion. Therefore, where the hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle is attached to the above described reaction apparatus for producing trichlorosilane, metal silicon powder is less likely to enter into the ejection holes, thus making it possible to prevent the ejection holes from being clogged.
- Further, a plurality of ejection holes are formed, thereby hydrogen chloride gas can be ejected in a plurality of directions, and hydrogen chloride gas can be widely dispersed into metal silicon powder to accelerate the reaction.
- It is preferable that the hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle of the present invention is provided at the shaft portion with a thread portion.
- The hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle of the present invention is attached removably to the gas introduction devices of the above described reaction apparatus for producing trichlorosilane.

- As shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , the hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1 of the present embodiment is provided with ashaft portion 2 formed approximately in a cylindrical shape and ahead portion 3 extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion 2 (the vertical direction inFIG. 1 ) at the upper end of theshaft portion 2. - In the present embodiment, the
head portion 3 extends in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of theshaft portion 2, and has a regular hexagonal shape when viewed from the top, as shown inFIG. 2 . In addition, anupper surface 3A of thehead portion 3 is a plain surface orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of theshaft portion 2, and aside surface 3B of thehead portion 3 is positioned orthogonal to theupper surface 3A. Thereby, thehead portion 3 is formed approximately in a regular hexagonal column shape. - Further, a
male thread 2A is formed on the outer circumferential surface of theshaft portion 2. Therefore, the hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1 is formed in the same shape as a hexagon head bolt and thehead portion 3 is able to engage with industrial tools such as a wrench. - The
shaft portion 2 is provided with asupply hole 4 which is opened on thelower end surface 2B thereof and extending along the longitudinal direction of theshaft portion 2. In addition, thesupply hole 4 is not opened on theupper surface 3A of thehead portion 3 but formed as a blind hole. - Then, the
head portion 3 is provided with a plurality of ejection holes 5 communicatively connected to thesupply hole 4 and extending in a direction intersecting a direction at which thesupply hole 4 extends. In the present embodiment, as shown inFIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , sixejection holes 5 are formed so as to be respectively orthogonal to the direction at which thesupply hole 4 extends. These sixejection holes 5 are, as shown inFIG. 2 , formed so as to extend radially from thesupply hole 4 located at the center of thehead portion 3 and respectively opened on the side surfaces of thehead portion 3 formed in a regular hexagonal column shape. In other words, an opening portion of theejection hole 5 faces in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of theshaft portion 2. - Next, an explanation will be made for a reaction apparatus for producing
trichlorosilane 10 in which the hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1 of the present embodiment is used. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , the reaction apparatus for producingtrichlorosilane 10 has an apparatus main body comprising abody portion 12 having an approximately cylindrical shape and abottom plate portion 13 and aceiling 14 respectively sealing the lower and top ends of thebody portion 12. In this case, as shown inFIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , anupper surface 13A and alower surface 13B of thebottom plate portion 13 are arranged so as to be orthogonal to the axis line of the cylinder formed by thebody portion 12. - A silicon
powder supply port 15 for supplying metal silicon powder into the apparatusmain body 11 is formed at a lower part of thebody portion 12 of the apparatusmain body 11. An introduction piping 30 for carrier gas is connected to the siliconpowder supply port 15, metal silicon powder is supplied from afeed hopper 31 through avalve 32 to the introduction piping 30 for carrier gas and then supplied through the siliconpowder supply port 15 into the apparatusmain body 11. Further, acyclone separator 33 to be described later is connected to thefeed hopper 31, and a siliconpowder supply system 40 for supplying the metal silicon powder from the outside is also connected to thefeed hopper 31. - A
gas removal port 17 is disposed at the center of theceiling 14 of the apparatusmain body 11 for removing trichlorosilane gas generated by reaction. -
Gas introduction unit 20 is installed below the apparatusmain body 11 for introducing hydrogen chloride gas into the apparatusmain body 11. - The
gas introduction unit 20 is provided with agas chamber 21 for pooling hydrogen chloride gas andgas supply ports 22 for supplying the hydrogen chloride gas into thegas chamber 21. In this case, thegas chamber 21 is partitioned from the interior of the apparatusmain body 11 by thebottom plate portion 13 of the apparatusmain body 11. - Then, as shown in
FIG. 4 , the hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1 of the present embodiment is placed at thebottom plate portion 13 of the apparatusmain body 11. More specifically, an attachment hole 13C is formed at thebottom plate portion 13 of the apparatusmain body 11, and theshaft portion 2 of the hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1 is inserted into the attachment hole 13C. Then, thehead portion 3 of the hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1 is placed on theupper surface 13A of thebottom plate portion 13. Twonuts 25 are screwed onto amale thread portion 2A formed at theshaft portion 2 from the side of thelower surface 13B of thebottom plate portion 13, and thebottom plate'portion 13 is held between the nuts 25 and thehead portion 3. In addition, awasher 26 is placed between thehead portion 3 and theupper surface 13A of thebottom plate portion 13 and anotherwasher 26 is placed between thenut 25 and thelower surface 13B of thebottom plate portion 13. - Thereby, the
shaft portion 2 of the hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1 is inserted through thebottom plate portion 13 into thegas chamber 21 and attached removably to thebottom plate portion 13. Further, an equalizingpipe 27 is communicatively connected to thesupply hole 4 of theshaft portion 2. - As described above, the hydrogen chrolide
gas ejecting nozzle 1 of the present embodiment is fixed to thebottom plate portion 13 of the apparatusmain body 11 and arranged so that theshaft portion 2 extends from thebottom plate portion 13 downwardly (along the axis line of a cylinder formed by thebody portion 12 of the apparatus main body 11) and also theupper surface 3A of thehead portion 3 is parallel with thelower surface 13B of thebottom plate portion 13 of the apparatusmain body 11. Further, thesupply hole 4 of theshaft portion 2 is arranged so that the lower end thereof is opened inside thegas chamber 21, while the ejection holes 5 of thehead portion 3 are arranged so as to be opened in a direction orthogonal to the axis line of a cylinder formed by thebody portion 12 of the apparatusmain body 11. Then, hydrogen chloride gas supplied from thegas supply port 22 into thegas chamber 21 is ejected through thesupply hole 4 of the hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1 from the ejection holes 5 into the apparatusmain body 11. Thegas introduction unit 20 is provided with agas supply port 22, agas chamber 21 and a hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1. - In the present embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 5 , a plurality of hydrogenchloride ejecting nozzles 1 are arrayed in a hound's tooth configuration on whole theupper surface 13A of thebottom plate portion 13. - Next, an explanation will be made for a method for producing trichlorosilane by using the reaction apparatus for producing
trichlorosilane 10. - Metal silicon powder is supplied from a silicon
powder supply system 40 to thefeed hopper 31, introduced into the introduction piping 30 for carrier gas from thefeed hopper 31 through avalve 32 and supplied into the apparatusmain body 11 through the siliconpowder supply port 15 by gas flow transportation. In this case, hydrogen chloride gas is used as a carrier gas for gas flow transportation. The carrier gas is preferably introduced at a constant pressure. - Further, the
gas introduction unit 20 is used to introduce hydrogen chloride gas into the apparatusmain body 11. The hydrogen chloride gas is ejected to the apparatusmain body 11 through a plurality of the members for ejectinghydrogen chloride gas 1 arranged at thebottom plate portion 13 of the apparatusmain body 11. The hydrogen chloride gas ejected from the members for ejectinghydrogen chloride gas 1 is introduced into metal silicon powder. - As described above, hydrogen chloride gas is ejected to metal silicon powder inside the apparatus
main body 11, by which the metal silicon powder is fluidized inside the apparatusmain body 11. The metal silicon powder makes contact with the hydrogen chloride gas, while being fluidized, by which the metal silicon powder is reacted with the hydrogen chloride gas at a predetermined temperature, to generate trichlorosilane gas. - The thus generated trichlorosilane gas is removed from a
gas removal port 17 installed on aceiling 14 of the apparatusmain body 11 and supplied to subsequent steps. Further, unreacted metal silicon powder inside the apparatusmain body 11 is discharged together with trichlorosilane gas from thegas removal port 17, collected by thecyclone separator 33 at a subsequent step, supplied to thefeed hopper 31, introduced into the introduction piping 30 for carrier gas, and supplied again into the apparatusmain body 11. The metal silicon powder not collected by thecyclone separator 33 is removed through afilter 34 at a subsequent step. - The hydrogen chrolide
gas ejecting nozzle 1 of the present embodiment is provided with ashaft portion 2 formed approximately in a cylindrical shape and ahead portion 3 extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion 2 (the vertical direction inFIG. 1 ). Theshaft portion 2 is arranged so as to extend in a vertical direction of the apparatusmain body 11, and thesupply hole 4 disposed at theshaft portion 2 is also arranged so as to face the vertical direction of the apparatus main body 11 (the axial direction of a cylinder formed by thebody portion 12 of the apparatus main body 11). Then, an opening portion of theejection hole 5 orthogonal to thesupply hole 4 is opened on a side surface of thehead portion 3, by which there is no chance that the opening portion of theejection hole 5 faces upward. As a result, metal silicon powder is less likely to enter into the ejection holes 5, thus making it possible to prevent the ejection holes 5 from being clogged. - Since a plurality of the ejection holes 5 are formed so as to extend radially from the
supply hole 4, it is possible to eject hydrogen chloride gas from one hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1 toward a plurality of directions and also accelerate the reaction by widely dispersing hydrogen chloride gas into metal silicon powder. Thereby, the reaction of the metal silicon powder with the hydrogen chloride gas can be further accelerated to improve the production efficiency of trichlorosilane. - Further, since the hydrogen chrolide
gas ejecting nozzle 1 is attached removably to thebottom plate portion 13 of the apparatusmain body 11, it can be easily exchanged after deterioration due to prolonged use. If the ejection holes 5 become clogged, the member can be cleaned in a state of being removed from thebottom plate portion 13 of the apparatusmain body 11. Therefore, it is quite easy in maintenance. Still further, since thehead portion 3 of the hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1 is formed in a regular hexagonal column shape, it can be screwed by being engaged with industrial tools such as a wrench and easily attached or detached. - The hydrogen chrolide
gas ejecting nozzle 1 of the present embodiment is formed in the same shape as a hexagonal bolt. Therefore, a hexagonal bolt for general use can be bored to produce the hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1, thus making it possible to produce the hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1 at a lower cost. - Further, in the present embodiment, an equalizing
pipe 27 communicatively connected to thesupply hole 4 is connected to theshaft portion 2 of the hydrogen chrolidegas ejecting nozzle 1, thus making it possible to equalize a pressure of hydrogen chloride gas ejected from the ejection holes 5. - An explanation has been made so far for the hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle of an embodiment of the present invention. However, the present invention shall not be limited thereto and may be modified in any way within a scope not departing from the technical idea of the invention.
- For example, in the present embodiment, an explanation has been made for a case where the ejection holes are formed so as to be orthogonal to a direction at which the supply hole extends. However, the present embodiment shall not be limited thereto but may include the case where the ejection holes intersect the supply hole so that the opening portion will not face upward when attached to the bottom plate portion of the apparatus main body.
- An explanation has also been made for the case where six ejection holes are formed in a hexagonal bolt shape. There is no restriction on the number of the ejection holes. It is preferable to make an appropriate design, with consideration given to the arrangement of the members for ejecting hydrogen chloride gas and the shape of the apparatus main body.

Therefore, theupper surface 56A of thehead portion 56 is formed in a semi-sphere shape, and a pair of planar side surfaces 56B are formed parallel with the length direction. Then, fourejection holes 5 intersecting obliquely thesupply hole 4 are opened obliquely upward on the semi-sphereupper surface 56A. - Any one of the members for ejecting hydrogen chloride gas having a plain surface portion of the head portion (each of the side surfaces 52B in
FIG. 6 andFIG. 7 , planar side surfaces 54C inFIG. 8 andFIG. 9 , planar side surfaces 56B inFIG. 10 andFIG. 11 ) can be attached to or detached from the bottom plate portion by screwing, while engaging tools such as a wrench. - Further the head portion of the hydrogen chrolide gas ejecting nozzle may be formed in a triangular shape, etc., when viewed from the top, in addition to the shapes so far described, as long as such a plain surface is formed so that a tool can be engaged with the side surface.
